General Mills' Chocolate Cheerios say "All Natural Ingredients" on the box, however, the ingredients list "Artificial Flavour" as one of the ingredients. When I asked General Mills about this they said the cereals Artificial Ingredients are proprietary and secret.

Cheerios contain a number of ingredients that are NOT good for you including chalk, and cement cleaner. In 2010, General Mills decided to use genetically modified ingredients "regardless of the longterm health affects to humans."

Please do not feed Cheerios to your children.

The contents of the artificial flavours are proprietory (sic) and we cannot provide them.
We hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if we can help you again.

why dont you just not eat cheerios, buy a box of what you think is "all natural" cereal, hide in your room, and shut up, cause just cause you dont like it or dont agree doesnt mean you have to ruin it for every one else, your not god :)
